This manual was designed so you can familiarise yourself with the use of your Leader SENTRY Wireless movement monitor. The instructions for use and safety guidelines must be followed in order to prevent any accident. Any disassembly or repair must be performed by either LEADER or an approved dealer. This manual presents the simplicity and ease of use of the device.
1 INTRODUCTION ▪ The Leader SENTRY Wireless movement monitor was designed to ensure the surveillance of unstable structures. It provides additional security to teams involved in firefighting and emergency and rescue operations. ▪ An eye-safe laser range finder is aimed at a potentially dangerous structure and continuously monitors the smallest movements of it.
2 USAGE WARNINGS Give each alarm the most attention possible. Never assume that the reason for the alarm is accidental until that has been established definitively. ▪ Ensure that the monitoring area is free of any unnecessary movements, (people, machines, etc.) in order to avoid false movement detections.

3.3 Laser description ➢ The laser range finder is made up of: ▪ A range finder used to measure the distance with great accuracy. The laser range finder power output is less than 1mV. In case of laser exposure, the natural reflex to blink and turn your head is enough to protect yourself from eye injuries.
3.4 Tripod description ▪ The aluminium telescopic tripod linked to a 3D ball-joint mount allowing the user to set up and adjust the laser perfectly. ▪ The maximum adjustment height of the tripod with the laser is about 2 meters (6.56ft). ▪...

Battery level indicator for the laser range finder in question; here ’’LA1’’. 4-level indication: (100%), (70%), (30%) and for low battery (5%). The laser battery life is around 8 hours during normal operation (threshold met - no alarm) with good-quality alkaline batteries.

4.3 Installing batteries Note: It is recommended that you use LR03 AAA Alkaline batteries. The device can work independently with LR03 AAA Alkaline batteries (see §5.6), but they should be used more as a back-up power supply in case no external power source is available.
4.4 Filtering for unintentional passages ▪ The device is designed to filter out short-term obstructions to the laser beam (passing people, birds, etc.). Longer lasting obstructions will trigger the alarm. This function is only operational if a threshold has been selected. The filtering zone is located between the laser and the target at two times less (-2 x) than the selected threshold.

▪ The target scope is pre-adjusted in the factory to ensure the target cross-hair (cross) corresponds with the laser pointer red dot fixed on it. In the event of improper adjustment or low batteries for the laser pointer and the cross-hair, follow the following procedure: ➢...
➢ Changing the laser pointer and cross-hair batteries. Remove the covers of the battery compartments. Replace the used batteries with new batteries. 3 LR1130W batteries 1 CR2032 battery (provided) (provided) 4.6 Device usage ▪ Identify the target to be monitored. ▪...
▪ It is recommended to test that the device works correctly before any real use. To test this, you only need to place your hand in front of the laser beam to trigger the alarm. You only need to press any of the buttons on the keyboard to stop the alarm.
4.6.2 Operation of networked devices If acquiring a Sentry DOUBLE (2 lasers) or a SENTRY SINGLE (1 laser) with optional remote control, the laser range finders and the remote control are paired together in the factory. ▪ The laser range finder numbers (LA1 and LA2) are factory assigned and do not change. ▪...

5.2 Alarm operating principle ▪ A detected movement triggers the sound alarm (siren) and visual alarm (3 flashes) for the laser range finder in question (when exceeding the selected threshold). For example, when using a Sentry DOUBLE, the lasers trigger the alarm independently. If the laser range finders trigger their alarm, it is because the 2 laser range finders detect a movement in each of the targets.
